Before The Park
In 1821, Peter Cooper purchased a glue factory in Kips Bay Manhattan to manufacture high-quality glue products. In 1838, he relocated the factory to Maspeth Avenue in Brooklyn. It was a strategic sight that could access roads connecting to New York-bound ferries and Long Island farms. When Cooper retired from the glue business in 1865, he sold the factory to his family members. In 1878, the factory moved again to Smith Island in Newton Creek, leaving Brooklyn for good. In 1895, the descendants of Peter Cooper sold the sight of the brooklyn glue factory for $55,000. Within a year, the sight was cleared and outfitted with a playground and landscaping. [2]
